  1. Need a penny nickel, take a penny nickel. Need a nickel dime, get a job.
  2. This is some sort of joke, right? right? edit: One day I will learn to read the entire thread before responding.
  3. happens to the best of us
  4. A press conference with three toddlers wtf you are in the fucking oval office. Take your fucking hat off and put on a tie dipshit.
  5. I've actually wondered quite a bit which of these two factors was the bigger issue. I'm coming down on sexism being the bigger issue for the Magats than racism. Of course, most wouldn't admit to either. So who knows.
  6. My wife is on the board of a of a local nonprofit that is basically a nonprofit senior citizen center. They provide sit down meals, meals on wheels, legal advice, help with SS, rides to Dr. appts or shopping (I sometimes help out with the rides) , stuff like that. They are probably going to get fucked by Nazi boy and orange doTArd's fucking around. They've already started talking about what services they are going to have to cut. I asked her if they are going to tell their septuagenarian clients exactly why they are going to have to scrap the sit down meals, or whatever cuts end up happening, if any. They are planning for the worst, but no actual cuts yet. The board decided they "didn't want to make it political" if cuts actually happen. She is thinking about resigning from the board if they don't directly tell people that any cuts in services that actually happen are due to cuts in federal funding due to doTArd and Nazi boy. We'll see. Although honestly, they should all just die anyway, according to our state leaders. This quote should be on the front door to their senior citizen center: "No one reached out to me and said, 'As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that America loves for its children and grandchildren?' And if that is the exchange, I'm all in."- Texas Lt Governor Dan Patrick, speaking to Fox News Host Tucker Carlson, March 23, 2020.
  7. voting for orange DOAtarD is morally indefensible. My commitment to laughing as the Leopards eat your face remains unshaken.
  8. I mean, I'd rather listen to the Stones also, but the half time show isn't for us. And I'm ok with that.
  9. My wife is handling the appeal of a woman who was convicted of neglect of her infant (she got 10 years). The kid was under or malnourished, and prosecution claims she did nothing to help her kid (ignored doctors orders/advice, etc). Anybody think these assholes are going to get 10 years?
  10. I enjoyed Trombone Shorty. Skipped halftime, as always. Good to see Worthy score 2 TDs. Eagles entire D line deserved the MVP. Finally, can the eagles kick a field goal on the first try without getting a false start penalty?
  11. She really cakes it on, like her orange daddy.
  12. We need a super hurricane to blow through and cleanse that shit from the face of the Earth. Sucks that all the people of the RGV will also suffer, but they allowed him there with no pushback.
  13. OK, grandpa, its time for your nap
  14. I'm going to guess that's not actually true.
  15. Every year, he still collects a check from that settlement. His tort reform is retroactive, of course.
  16. Protestors need to start doing this.
  17. Newsflash: Scientists and scholars are people too.
  18. Heard on NPR this morning that a county in far west texas has 8 (IIRC) cases of measles. All kids, none vaccinated. Measles vax is 97% effective at keeping you from getting the disease if exposed. More are expected.
  19. What if its one of those super smart sharks from Deep Blue Sea?
  20. If you honestly think these metaphors make any sense at all, you truly are an idiot.
  21. No, banking the turns allows you to take the turn faster without skidding. The faster you take the turn, the more "G force" you experience. When the car is banked, so is your body (head tilted inward, legs outward) which results in the G forces pushing your blood toward your legs, and you get tunnel vision, dizzy, and can even blackout if the G forces are too high or last too long. This can be ameliorated by making the turn radius greater (in other words making the turn less sharp), but that would mean a longer track. Fighter pilots wear special flight suits that inflate and squeeze their legs and lower body to keep the blood higher up in the body and help prevent blacking out when they make insanely high speed, sharp turns. Its similar to (but worse than) what happens when sometimes people suddenly stand up after laying down for a long time and get dizzy (or even faint in extreme cases).
  22. nevermind, can' tget the video to embed
